In such a situation, how can you recover your Google account to regain access to Gmail?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Google provides an account recovery page where you can follow the steps as best you can. You may be asked your last remembered password, recovery phone or email address, or answer to a security question. You may also use a frequently used device, browser and location to recover your account.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s look at how you can change your password in Gmail through the browser on a PC or via the mobile Gmail app.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"simpletoc-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#can-i-recover-my-gmail-account-without-phone-number-and-recovery-email\">Can I recover my Gmail account without phone number and recovery email?<\/a>\n\n\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#how-can-i-access-my-gmail-account-without-phone-verification\">How can I access my Gmail account without phone verification?<\/a>\n\n\n<\/li><li><a href=\"#how-do-i-contact-google-support\">How do I contact Google support?<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#how-do-i-find-and-change-my-recovery-email\">How do I find and change my recovery email?<\/a>\n\n\n<\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"#how-to-change-password-in-gmail\">How to change password in Gmail<\/a>\n\n\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/use-same-gmail-account-on-two-phones\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2060\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Can I Use The Same Gmail Account On Two Phones?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-i-recover-my-gmail-account-without-phone-number-and-recovery-email\">Can I recover my Gmail account without phone number and recovery email?<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/img_612d510eb3317.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:680px;height:345px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20300%20300'%3E%3Crect%20width='300'%20height='300'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:680px;height:345px\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" loading=\"eager\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/img_612d510eb3317.png.webp\" class=\"eager-load\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Gmail account can be recovered without a phone number or recovery email.

Upon calling, you will go through a series of voice menus; in the end, you will usually hear a recorded message with instructions to solve your issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The phone number of Google headquarters in the USA is +1 650-253-0000 while the phone numbers in other locations around the world can be found on this <a href=\"https:\/\/about.google\/locations\/?region=north-america\" rel=\"noopener\">webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though these numbers can be used for serious issues, Google doesn&rsquo;t handle frequent issues like account recovery and password changes over the phone, for security reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from the above, be cautious as many numbers found online are scams and should be avoided.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&rsquo;t contact Google directly by email related to account recovery or password change.
